“Walking Toward an Olympic Dream”:
Check out this feature on Susan Randall on a Dayton, Ohio TV station WDTN Channel 2 <http://www.wdtn.com/>. I searched for “race walk” in the “Search this site” section to locate it.

Minnesota Race Walkers Also in the News:
“Taking a Few Giant Steps With Race Walkers” from Minnesota’s WCCO. <http://wcco.com/local/race.walkers.como.2.727373.html> It’s a nice feature about the Twin Cities Race Walkers.
